Movie Review: From Paris with Love

Sunday, March 14, 2010
Synopsis: A low-ranking intelligence operative working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.

Starring: John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kasia Smutniak, Richard Durden
Directed by: Pierre Morel
U.S. Rating: R

I must start saying that I believe that the person who enjoyed the film was John Travolta. He looked so "cool" for a secret agent with such a bad attitude.

From Paris with Love was an entertaining action movie. It didn't require much brain to follow the film, even though, it had such an unexpected "twist" situation that made it interesting. The most enjoyable from the film some really funny and crazy dialogue lines, especially quoted by John Travolta.

The film is about James Reese, a low ranking U.S. Intelligence member working for the American Embassy in Paris. He's being assigned to work with Charlie Wax, a crazy special Agent who will be working in Paris trying to reveal and destroy a terrorist plan to kill everyone in an important ceremony with the presence of many different important delegates from around the world. When they start finding vital information and people, they will soon find that James has been framed and he's being used to get all the important information and tools to access this important event.

An entertaining film with a pretty standard and decent plot, offering some good laughs and some crazy action scenes.

What did I like from this movie?

1. John Travolta, bringing some of the crazy attitude and style, that same style and attitude that made him famous with Pulp Fiction!
2. The twist in the middle of the film
3. Some really good laughs with the dialogue lines used by John Travolta

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. I didn't like the end as much as I liked the rest of the film

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
